The Lovely Bones (12A)

Susie Salmon has the once in a lifetime misfortune to live opposite a multiple serial killer who lures her into a secret Fritzl inspired dirt dungeon out on the edge of the forest. School's over, it's getting misty dark, cold so Susie takes the short cut across the lonely corn fields - hey you kids, I'm telling you, don't do that, right! Susie must get to heaven but meanwhile she's stuck in a blue yonder limbo between earth and the ever after - where she aims to influence events ensuring George Harvey, her killer, gets it in the neck. But George is a sly old psychopath who's always just about slipping through the flexible arms of the law. The Susie scenes, in the not quite heaven, are dragged out too much with the usual dream like landscapes straight outta the Wizard of Oz. Rachel Weisz as mum and Susan Saradon as the almost still sexy grandma are both pumping out good scenes that carry the film along nicely when the will-he-won't-he be caught tensions get too much.

Did go to see film after all and wish i had gone to see Wolfman instead! Yes thought it was a bit long winded too and found the fantasy, otherworld bits far too long. Not really my cup of tea!

Film ok, just a bit long winded.

I was actually going to see it tonight bt after reading the poor reviews i don't know if i will! I like ilms with lots of tension, twists and a really uncomfortable ending. Does this film have any of these things?

Really good film, sad but very enjoyable.

I thought this was good. Not a lot of tension really, not really quite sure where the story was supposed to be going, and the end was anti-climactic, but it avoided falling into some of the traps of predictability and corniness which plague many movies. Very interesting aesthetically, and reasonably thought-provoking.

the book is impossible to film but jackson has to be appreciated for his sincere passion and the ingenious visual design and a stunning performance by ronan -she is totally hypnotic as the spirit stuck in a nightmarish idylllic surreal universe -i found it quite intriguing though it is rather slow and the other characters have very little to do other than tucci -but worth a look whether you have or not reaD THE BOOK

This was only on my list of movies to see because of Stanley Tucci’s Oscar nomination. I really wish I hadn’t bothered. This movie is puerile pap. It feels like a cheesey 1970’s “Jackie� magazine murder mystery for not very bright teenage girls. Some of the plot’s toe-curlingly awful, as is the CGI, as is the narration, etc. Alas, there’s some seriously good acting talent going to waste here. I predict this one will be on sale in the DVD bargain bin for around £2 within 6 months.

good film u could hear a pin drop all the way through fast paced attention grabbing had everything in it family fun and drama first love romance close your eyes gory bits(enough 4 me) in between fantasy bits with lovely special effects few tears laughs with gran edge of your seats bits i am what u would call a more senior person i have lost people i loved one suddenly we do hope they stayed around a while to say goodbye and i am slightly spiritual so i was tuned in nicely to this film message from this film let go of the past live 4 today dont be afraid of tomrrow

I really enjoyed this film. The story was good and it was a sad film. Worth a watch =)
